Mixed Berry Tiramisu
This berry tiramisu with St. Germain and lemon-soaked ladyfingers is a fruity, no-bake twist on the classic dessert. Layered with mascarpone, berry jam, and fresh strawberries, it's perfect for summer.
Egg Cream
For a truly classic egg cream, the chocolate syrup should be Fox’s U-Bet, and the fizz should be very strong, like the bubbles in seltzer from a siphon. But however you prepare it — and feel free to adjust the proportions to your liking — it makes for a sweet, quick refresher or even dessert on a summer day.
Caramelized Peaches With Rum and Cream
This dessert is all about deep, sultry flavors: the warmth of rum, the smoky sweetness of muscovado sugar and the buttery richness of caramelized peaches. The peaches are pan-roasted until golden and tender, then finished with a luscious cream made from Greek yogurt and mascarpone, topped with a scattering of sugar that slowly melts into a delicate crunch. The result is a beautiful contrast of hot and cold, sweet and tangy, smooth and crisp, with toasted sesame and sea salt adding just the right amount of intrigue. A simple, elegant way to let summer’s best fruit shine. If making in advance, prepare all the elements but don’t assemble right away. When ready to serve, warm the peaches over medium heat for five minutes, then add the toppings.

The Throwback Strawberry Cake That's Stealing the Show at My Cookouts
This summery strawberry poke cake uses jarred preserves for maximum flavor and ease, plus a whipped cream topping that holds up beautifully.
Sour Cream Baked Doughnuts
You’re a mere 25 minutes away from freshly baked sour cream doughnuts when you make them at home. The vanilla and nutmeg in the batter make them taste like your favorite store-bought cake doughnuts, but you can actually enjoy these fresh doughnuts warm, when you make them in your kitchen. Melted butter gives them a rich flavor, and sour cream ensures that the crumb is tender and moist. Enjoy them plain, or with a heavy dusting of powdered sugar. Because these doughnuts taste best the same day they are baked, this recipe only makes a half dozen, but if you’re feeding a bigger crowd, you can simply double the recipe to make a full dozen, baking the doughnuts in two batches.
Fresh Strawberry Sauce from Magnolia Bakery
"Nothing screams summer like strawberries. Make any dessert instantly fresher and brighter with this strawberry sauce."--Bobbie Lloyd
S’mores Brownies
These fudgy s’mores bars have three layers: crispy graham cracker bottoms, satisfyingly chewy brownie centers and toasted marshmallow tops. They couldn’t be simpler to make and taste best chilled, straight out of the refrigerator, but campfire nostalgists will love them at room temperature, or microwaved for 10 seconds for gooey centers. Be sure to use a metal baking pan since the timing for the toasted marshmallows requires the brownie base to bake quickly and evenly.

This One Ingredient Takes Crème Brûlée Over the Top
This 5-ingredient take on the French classic embraces the natural sweetness of fresh, in-season corn.
S’mores Layer Cake
This cake is a labor of love, but you can make all of the individual parts ahead of time, and the finished dessert truly tastes like a bite of old-fashioned s’mores. The base is a deeply chocolatey sour cream cake that stays soft and moist for days. The cake layers are sandwiched together with toasted marshmallow buttercream and graham cracker crumbles. The sweet and salty graham crumbles, made from graham cracker crumbs that are mixed with sugar and melted butter and then baked, add crunchy texture to the cake and make a terrific garnish, too. You will need a kitchen torch to toast the meringue for the buttercream, but it’s totally worth it for that iconic, deeply caramelized marshmallow flavor.
Sugar Cookie Bars With Berries
Draped in frosting and adorned with festive berries, these sheet-pan cookie bars are fit for a party. Browned butter and cream cheese give the cookie depth and richness, plus a pleasantly chewy texture. The fluffy vanilla frosting is a canvas for whichever berries look best at the market. If you like, dust the fruit with a bit of powdered sugar just before serving for a little extra flair. The cookie and frosting can both be prepared the day before your celebration, but you’ll want to assemble and dress with the berries the day you plan to enjoy this dessert. For the cleanest slices, use a long, sharp knife and gently cut through the berries and cookie base.
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Ideal for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast or snack, chocolate chia pudding is a nutritional powerhouse that takes minimal effort to prepare. Flavored with cocoa powder and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamon and a pinch of nutmeg, this cooling pudding can be prepared with your milk of choice, no cooking required. It does need an overnight rest in the refrigerator to set: For the best texture, stir the pudding mixture together in the evening for breakfast or a snack the next day. The longer the pudding rests, the more the chia seeds will expand and absorb the liquid. Add a splash of milk to thin out to desired consistency when serving, and top with any combination of fruits, nuts and granola.
Gin and Tonic Sgroppino
This bright, refreshing riff on the classic Sgroppino works perfectly with either lemon or lime sorbet, however be sure to use freshly grated lime zest to finish and ensure the drink leans properly toward gin and tonic. To keep it properly icy, make sure everything from the bottles of gin and tonic water to the bowl, whisk and final serving glasses are deeply chilled.
Rosé Sgroppino
Pink, bubbly and lightly bitter, this frosty drink works equally well as a palate cleanser, dessert or hot afternoon cocktail. While this recipe was created with sparkling rosé in mind, feel free to use another dry sparkling wine: Prosecco, cava, crémant or pétillant naturel. A Lambrusco di Sorbara (the lightest in color and higher in acidity of the Lambruscos) makes an excellent swap as well.

Rich and Gooey Chocolate Banana Pudding
Creamy, chocolatey banana pudding made from scratch—perfect for potlucks, summer parties, or a no-bake treat at home.
Hojicha Tiramisù
A trendy addition to baked goods and desserts, hojicha steps in for espresso in this fun take on tiramisù. Hojicha is a Japanese green tea like matcha, but this roasted tea has a distinct chestnut brown color with a full-bodied nutty, toasty flavor that is akin to coffee and cocoa. Available from Japanese grocery stores, online and popping on more supermarket shelves, hojicha is sold either as tea leaves or as a finely ground powder, which is best for baking and desserts like this one. (If you can only find the tea leaves, simply blend them into a powder.) This simplified tiramisù forgoes eggs, instead opting for a mixture of mascarpone and Greek yogurt, which delivers an airy texture and a tartness that compliments the earthiness of the tea. If you can’t find hojicha, use matcha powder, cocoa or Earl Grey tea. The flavor and texture of this dish will improve overnight, as the ladyfingers soak up the hojicha, making it the perfect make-ahead dessert.
Fresh Mango Pudding
Made with ripe, fragrant mangoes and a touch of milk, this popular Chinese dessert is tropical, light and refreshing. Like a fruity panna cotta, this mango pudding makes use of gelatin — not egg — to create its custardy consistency and signature wiggle. Blended together and then set in ramekins or a large baking dish, this make-ahead dessert is a low-lift stunner, spangled with fresh mango chunks and bathed in silky evaporated milk. Coconut milk can be substituted for the evaporated milk, adding a floral, nutty flavor in place of the subtle, slightly caramel notes of cow’s milk.
Melon-Mint Sorbet
This simple, generous sorbet comes together in a food processor and releases a blast of mint that’s evident in every spoonful. But best of all, it invites any kind of ripe summer melon, even watermelon. The texture is rougher than a true sorbet, somewhere between granita and shave ice. It’s plenty good as is, but to gild the lily, add a bit of raspberry syrup and a few festive berries.
Mango Shortcakes With Lime-Coconut Cream
If mango’s sweetness entices you, you’ll love this shortcake. What better way to complement the soft but sturdy crumb of a great shortcake, rich with salted butter and tender with buttermilk, with chunks of just-ripe mango. The pairing, gently dotted with lime zest and topped with a fluff of toasted coconut whipped cream for nuttiness, is a perfect summer dessert.
Skillet Sprinkle Sugar Cookie
You don’t need any special equipment to make this superfun, supersize sugar cookie; just a bowl, a whisk, a spatula and a skillet. Not only is making one huge cookie instead of two easier than baking several batches, there is something extraspecial about a giant dessert that is meant to be shared. Eat it warm from the pan with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top; or let it cool and slice it up as you would a pie. Swap out the rainbow sprinkles for holiday-themed sprinkles or whatever colors delight you.
Bacon Bourbon Apple Crisp
This bourbon apple crisp is smoky, sweet, and buttery—with bacon in the filling and gingersnaps in the topping. Best served with bourbon whipped cream.
